Can someone give me a tutorial on how to make a fire texture. I tried looking at tutorials lik how to make a fire texture but it always pops up with 404 not found. And I can't look in SeriousEngine.com because it also pops up with 404 not found.

its simple. you need a camera and a big box of crayons. first draw and fill it in with mostly red, add some orange and yellow on the inside, kind of smear the crayons around. photograph it and import the photograph, and you are done. you have to be kind of good with crayons though. this is an example of one I had made...

"And yet be reminded by the Gods that though cooperation is a friendly pursuit, friendly fire is righteous in its purging of the vile and corrupt. Let ye not be deserving of its wrath for the hoarding of power-ups."

Let me show you how I make an eye.
I start with firework photo in high res.

This was reduced for display but originally in the 2400 range then reduced to the 1600.

Then a black circle expanded to shave the edges and another in the center.
In this case I use a gear pattern to allow more of one color to intensify the edge around the lens.
Then the color swap tool for the color.
And last a few lens flare at various viscosity's across the entire eye to give the impression of light refection.

And wha-lah a complete iris and lens that will fool most anyone.

You keep on dreaming Jim ,thats nice work.
